The Oscars 2017: Best of British

The events, winners and best looks from last night’s Academy Awards.

Damien Chazelle, the director of La La Land, made history by becoming the youngest director to ever win Best Director at the Oscars at the age of 32. The big winners were La La Land who picked up six awards including Best Actress (Emma Stone) and Best Original Score and Song, Cinematography and Director. Moonlight and Manchester by the Sea also picked up some of the big awards, including Moonlight for Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay and Supporting Actor (Mahershala Ali), and Manchester by the Sea, Best Original Screenplay and Best Actor (Casey Affleck). Mahershala Ali also became the first Muslim actor to ever win an Oscar.

The biggest news from the event, was the Best Picture blunder between Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, Moonlight and La La Land.

Ryan Gosling’s reaction says it all…
